Unwritten Absence

Sunday morning sunshine in your absence
adrifts my yearning in winter breeze cool
I sink or swim, doesn't make a difference
the white swan ponders in a shallow pool

Incomplete journey, some for no reason,
You moved on, perhaps migrated like birds
my blank canvas of pallid spring season
calligraphy strokes of unwritten words.

in chorus of wind, air is thick and dense
lyrics forgotten for a song composed
evergreen pine tree holds in abeyance
plethora of feelings, all undisclosed

Your lingering presence...all my ink spills
no words on your tombstone, engraved love fills.

Beautiful sonnet . Love your rhymes and wordplay and how you’ve articulated your lines in such an awe inspiring manner. Especially that last stanza stood out for me with “ chorus of wind” “ lyrics forgotten for a song composed” excellent! Very creative and heartfelt! Thank you for writing. Congratulations on winning
